Es gibt bessere Plätze zum Leben als Deutschland

Das Wetter in den meisten Regionen dieser Erde wird nicht gerade besser. Da wünschen sich viele Bewohner der ”gemässigten” Klimazonen häufig eine Bleibe in tropischen Gefilden. Cocktails am Strand statt Glühwein im Nieselregen. Die gute Nachricht: Dieser Wunsch ist gar nicht so schwer zu erfüllen!
Wer sich die Mühe macht und weltweit nach dem besten Land zum Leben forscht, wird über kurz oder lang auf Thailand stossen:
Angenehmes Klima das ganze Jahr über.
Geringe Kriminalitätsraten.
Günstige Lebenshaltungskosten.
Freundliche Menschen.
Gute Küche
Die Liste von positiven Punkten ist lang aber mit das wichtigste ist, Leben im tropischen Paradies ist hier wirklich machbar. In Hua Hin beispielsweise, einem netten Städchen an der See, rund 200 km südlich von Bangkok, in dem auch die thailändische Königsfamilie lebt, sind immer noch Häuser mit 2 Zimmern für 300 Euro zu mieten oder für 80.000 Euro zu kaufen. Mit rund tausend Euro im Monat lässt es sich angenehm Leben, und auf Schals und Mützen kann man in Zukunft verzichten. Auch wer sich noch nicht zur Ruhe setzen möchte und keine Immobilen verkaufen kann, die ein neues Leben im tropischen Paradies leichter macht, hat dennoch die Möglichkeit sich seinen Traum zu erfüllen:
Während sich Wirtschaft, Einkommen und Lebensqualität in Europa konituierlich weiter nach unten verschieben, blüht Asien auf. Wer die Arbeit nicht scheut, hat in Thailand ausgezeichnete Möglichkeiten seine Talente in einem boomenden Umfeld einzusetzen, in dem sich der Einsatz noch lohnt. Ein verlängerter Urlaub reicht häufig aus um sich einen Eindruck über die Möglichkeiten zu verschaffen. Die Zeit läuft, es gibt keinen Grund länger zu warten.

Thailand’s Rattanakosin Period

After Taksin’s death, General Chakri (Rama I) became the first king of the Chakri Dynasty, ruling from 1782 to 1809. His first action as king was to transfer the royal capital across the river from Thon Buri to Bangkok and build the Grand Palace. Rama II (1809-1824) continued the restoration begun by his predecessor. King Nang Klao, Rama III (1824-1851) reopened relations with Western nations and established trade with China.

Thailand’s Thonburi Period

General Taksin, as he is popularly known, decided to transfer the capital from Ayutthaya to a site nearer to the sea, a move that would facilitate foreign trade, ensure the procurement of arms, and make defense and withdrawal easier in case of a renewed Burmese attack. He established his new capital at Thon Buri, on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, opposite modern-day Bangkok. The rule of Taksin was not an easy one. The lack of central authority since the fall of Ayutthaya led to the rapid disintegration of the kingdom, and Taksin’s reign was spent reuniting the provinces.
